Monster-A-GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show RECREATION # 142

February 15, 2017, 01:34:48 AM 



Hi everyone else. You've survived Valentine's Day. And now we are half way through the month (well, actually MORE than halfway)---already!  Here are 10 more new additions. Most of these are holdovers from one of Rich's recent auctions (hence the MPB watermark on the photos). Come along for the ride and take a look or don't:


THE MAD EXECUTIONERS:

I've never seen this flick, but there wasn't much competition for it (maybe/probably it's a crappy movie?)  I went for it. Is the movie any good?





THE LIVING END:

"An irresponsible movie by Gregg Araki."  I've not seen this, but this director seems to be kind of a cult favorite. I DID see one of his films, THE DOOM GENERATION, and liked it a lot. Got this one cheap...why not? Turned out to be from my friend Scott's collection before I knew he was dead.




CRY OF THE BANSHEE:

Hooray! Another classic Vincent Price chiller poster. Not as nice as HAUNTED PALACE or HOUSE OF USHER, but...




AXE:

Here is another one I scored from our pal Rich during one of his auctions a few weeks back (Thanks Rich!). Also known as CALIFORNIA AXE MASSACRE (riffing another, more popular movie), this is strictly drive-in, B-movie  fodder. Couldn't pass it up.





LATITUDE ZERO:

I got a Thai version of this a while back. I've still never seen the movie. i do dig the power rays or whatever coming from their fingertips. Zowie! What's that all about? Could be a cheesy groovy movie. Cool poster.




AT THE EARTH'S CORE:

I actually saw this in the theaters as a kid back in the day, and even then it was ultra cheesy...but you couldn't look away. My eyes were glued to the screen. The poster art has always enchanted me too. I already have a copy, but why not another for a rainy day?





RAZORBACK:

I've been curious about this movie for years. I have the DVD---just have never seen it yet. The poster always seems to get snatched out from under me too. Why? I got me a copy---hope to see the film some day. Is it a GIANT pig in it or something? Yowza! This first appeared on my radar because it stars Gregory Harrison, star of TV's LOGAN'S RUN (which, if you'll remember was based off of the film of the same name -- which was the first poster I ever got!)




SECONDS:

I've long been curious about this Rock Hudson flick. I've never seen it, but doesn't aging Rock get somehow turned into a younger guy?  Hmm.





THE THIEF OF BAGHDAD and SPIDERMAN STRIKES BACK (British quad combo):

This was interesting (and inexpensive). I'm not sure what THIEF OF BAGHDAD is...never saw it...but the SPIDERMAN 2nd feature appears to be culled from the short-lived 70s TV series. That should/could be worth something to some fanbot somewhere maybe? I remeber the series--it was flawed and cheesy and no where near as fluid and "believable" as the newer movies are (I only saw the first newer movie--not a big fan of the super hero stuff).




HORROR HOTEL:

Here is my prize for this post. Oooooo how exciting. I've wanted a copy for a long, LONG time. Love the art...creepy fabulous.



That's it for now. Thanks for stopping over. March will be here before you know it...



CHEERS!

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024 #5

  And I'm back... This, I think, will be my final post of new posters. I had a few leftover posters from last time...and got others to fill out this post and get this done. I can't afford anything anymore and really, with my diminishing health, I should STOP collecting.  TANYA'S ISLAND: This was a cheap grab. I've never seen the movie, but have long wanted this poster. It's so doofy looking. This movie has been on my radar since its release--and it is amazingly hard to find. (As I said, I have NOT seen it yet.) From what I understand, it's basically KING KONG, but with a normal-sized ape (aka man in a bad moneky suit--based on the pictures I've seen) and a bit naughtier. (Hence the R-rating.) D.D. Winters is better known as Vanity, Prince's protegee back in the 80s. She apparently spends a good deal of the time naked. It's supposed to be bad. (No surprise.) I'd still like to see it. HOT DOG: THE MOVIE: I don't know why I bought this. I'm...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024 #4

  Hello. Welcome back. Today's offerings are...rather unexciting for the most part. As I've said many times before, my poster-buying power has been greatly diminished. I fear my post-buying days are wrapping up, too. The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show may be finally coming to a close in the near future. For now though, here's the latest of what I have to share with you today: KING FRAT: This was a fairly cheap poster--but supposedly rather rare? But really, it's not much to look at. I bought it because... I remember when this obscurity came out. Although I never saw it, it appeared to be some low-rent ANIMAL HOUSE wannabe. I was always curious... I bought it on disk (with THE CHEERING SECTION) on a clearance sale for old CODE RED products. (I guess that company went out of business?) I haven't watched it yet as I read the disk was taken directly from two very badly worn VHS sources. Oh well. I'll get to it someday. Maybe. The poster will go in a drawer. Whoopie... STA...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2021 #11

  Hi! Welcome to the 11th--and possibly LAST--- Shock-O-Rama Poster Show of the year --at least for several months. I'm busy packing for a move and up to my armpits in posters. (Details below.) UGH! I mean, I may buy more...but I don't have the time, money, and I want to be done with poster packing. Speaking of which, you may notice there is more than my usual 10 posters. Instead of holding back posters for some future posting (which may not be for months--if ever. My health issues keep rearing their ugly heads.), I'm posting everything I've gotten since last time. Take a peek or don't. I'm not feeling so well, which explains my rush to get this posted and the use of some online photos to illustrate today's posting. I'm going to go lay down. (Don't mind me...) Go ahead and take in the show: SHARKWATER EXTINCTION: I love the JAWS flicks, the rip-offs, and bad shark movies in general. This looks like it's probably a documentary--not a bad shark mov...
